This Twilight Craft Beer and Wine experience is a fun and entertaining late afternoon tastebud-tingling adventure!
Visit three unique locations around Queenstown and Gibbston with a minimum of 12 tastings of some of the finest drops in the region. Whether you like both beer and wine, or one and not the other, you can bounce between vines and hops as you move between the venues.
The tour generally starts with a visit to either Cargo Cellar Door at Waitiri Creek or Mt Rosa Wines for delicious beer or wine tastings, followed by the cellar door at Kinross Winery, before finishing off at Canyon Brewery.
Shared antipasto platters are also included at the final stop, a perfect starter for once you finish the tour and head back into town for a meal (or more wine).
You'll also travel in style with transfers in a premium Mercedes van, enjoy learning how to taste wine through onboard videos and make use of complimentary WiFi and Spotify playlists.
Best of all, the late afternoon departure means you still have your morning free to go out paddle-boarding, bungy jumping, or join any of Queenstown's other great activities. You can even fly in from out of town! Then you'll be back in time for a dinner booking or drinks with friends.

Light platters are included at Canyon Brewery to help soak up some of those tastings! And The Operator can cater for dietary requirements – just let them know when you book.
There are no age restrictions to join the tours; however, you must be 18 years of age to drink alcohol.
You can wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, but The Operator does recommend smart casual attire. Also, make sure to bring sun protection for those sunny days when you might want to enjoy outdoor tastings.
All levels of wine/beer knowledge are welcome! From the beginner to the expert connoisseur wanting to chat wine/beer all day, the guides and tours will suit all.
Central Otago is famous for its Pinot Noir, so there will certainly be plenty of that to taste! Other varieties you’ll taste are Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé and Riesling. For the beer lovers, you’ll have an offering of craft beers, including Pale Ales, Lagers, Pilsners and IPA.
Yes! All wine/beer purchased is placed in the boot of the vehicle and passed over to you on completion of the tour so you can enjoy it after or later on your holiday.
